IN NEED OF YOUR HELP!
Due to the loss of the Alien's oil pump, it is now stranded at the Super 8 in Gaylord, Mi. Rick has requested me to located anyone, or who has a friend or relative in the Gaylord, Mi area to watch over the Alien for him.
Please contact Rick on his cell # 218-260-9615 or
cell #218-428-3538. Rick is traveling the northern part of Mi which has few towers. If can't be reached please keep trying both numbers.
Thank you for your help

FYI all,

Sandy and I just returned home from a 980 mile round trip across the Upper Penninsula with trailer in tow. The car is home and so are we.

We were never so close to loosing our lifes as we were today. We were traffic traveling 65 mph. 4 cars infront of us stopped behind a car making a left turn. We stopped as well. I always try to leave lots of space between myself and the car directly infront of me just in case.

I looking in my rear view mirror and saw a Jeep Grand Cherokee closing on us fast! The guy did see we had stopped. He slammed on his brakes, I stabbed the gas and closed the distance between our car and the car infront of me.

This gave the Jeep just enough room to clear the end of the trailer as he swerved to the right shoulder! He passed 5 cars half on the blacktop shoulder and half on the tall grass shoulder. I dought his speed dropped under 55 mph.

If I hadn't have gunned the throttle the Alien, my trailer and the wifes Xterra would be history. There is no dought in my mine the driver of the Jeep would have died at that speed.

Anyone know anything about Karma ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Glad to be home,

Rick and Sandy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wavey.gif)
